Handling Precautions
The MOTOTRBO Series Digital Portable radio meets IP67
specifications, allowing your radio to withstand adverse
field conditions such as being submersed in water. This
section describes some basic handling precautions.
CAUTION:
Do not disassemble your radio. This could damage
radio seals and result in leak paths into the radio.
Radio maintenance should only be done in service
depot that is equipped to test and replace the seal
on the radio.
• If your radio has been submersed in water, shake your
radio well to remove any water that may be trapped
inside the speaker grille and microphone port. Trapped
water could cause decreased audio performance.
• If your radio's battery contact area has been exposed to
water, clean and dry battery contacts on both your radio
and the battery before attaching the battery to radio.
The residual water could short-circuit the radio.
• If your radio has been submersed in a corrosive
substance (for example, saltwater), rinse radio and
battery in fresh water then dry radio and battery.
•
To clean the exterior surfaces of your radio, use a
diluted solution of mild dishwashing detergent and fresh
water (for example, one teaspoon of detergent to one
gallon of water).
• Never poke the vent (hole) located on the radio chassis
below the battery contact. This vent allows for pressure
equalization in the radio. Doing so may create a leak
path into radio and your radio's submersibility may be
lost.
• Never obstruct or cover the vent, even with a label.
• Ensure that no oily substances come in contact with the
vent.
• Your radio with antenna attached properly is designed
to be submersible to a maximum depth of 1 m (3.28 ft)
and a maximum submersion time of 30 minutes.
Exceeding either maximum limit or use without antenna
may result in damage to your radio.
• When cleaning your radio, do not use a high pressure
jet spray on radio as this will exceed the 1 m depth
pressure and may cause water to leak into your radio.
